Does Biology Cause Political Arguments? w/ Arnold Schroder

October 1, 2026 · 1 h 15 min

Show notes

Your biology is your politics and it could be no other way!

That’s kind of the message of Arnold Schroder who is the brilliant mind behind the deeply researched podcast Fight Like an Animal and the author of Fight Like An Animal: Revolutionary Biology in Defense of Life.

We talk about how biology can greatly determine our political outlook, and how we can use that to gain more agency. We also talk about social movements and how these spaces often draw in people addicted to conflict.
